Volunteer Opportunities!

Give a little or a lot of time depending on your schedule!

  • Overnight volunteers- also need SORI form, health form and proof of MMR vaccine.

• “Pit Crew” is a group of equipment helpers who load/unload the trailers, and move equipment on/off the field when the band travels and performs.  A lot of times this crew also helps build props or fix things, come help out when you can!
• Fundraising– the ensemble needs lots of money to run, we always need fresh ideas and people to coordinate fundraisers.
• OOMPA Board/Chairpersons-There is always a need for leadership!  Every year we have graduating families, if you are interested in a position in the future ask to shadow a current board member this year!
